“Stop Eminent Domain Abuse” Roadshow

Bold Iowa and its partners are bringing a community forum to many towns across Iowa. Scroll down to see dates and locations.

The community forums will highlight two items:

First, learn about the historic eminent domain lawsuit before the Iowa Supreme Court, filed by landowners along the route of the Dakota Access Pipeline and the Iowa Sierra Club. For detail on the case, see Supreme Court No. 17-0423.

Second, view “Crossing the Divide”, a documentary by Ralph King. The documentary is about the 2017 Climate Justice Unity March, and shows the value of rebuilding trust and unity across political, cultural and geographic lines. See below for the full program agenda.

The roadshow will culminate with the First Nation – Farmer Climate Unity March, an 8-day, 90-mile march from September 1-8, roughly tracing the path of the Dakota Access Pipeline from Des Moines to Fort Dodge.
